We had an amazing Back to School Kickoff the other day. I hope you had an incredible first day yesterday. You've Got What It Takes!!

Now that the conference is over, what are some key takeaways or practical strategies that you are walking away with?

If you don’t decide who you are as a teacher, your classroom will decide for you, and that’s where confidence starts to slip.Take 10 minutes and define it for yourself: - I am the kind of teacher who… - My students will experience… - No matter what happens, I will always… Write it down and keep it visible, because when things get hard, you won’t have to guess who you are, you’ll already know.
